A mt. with the base 11,554 feet below sea level rises 18,403 feet. What is the elevation above sea level of its peak? What is the elevation of the mt's peak?
18,403 - 11,554 = ?
Thank you Ms. Sue.
To find the elevation above sea level of the mountain's peak, we need to add the base which is below sea level to the height of the mountain.
1. Start with the base which is 11,554 feet below sea level.
2. Add the height of the mountain, which is 18,403 feet.
11,554 feet (below sea level) + 18,403 feet = 29,957 feet
Therefore, the elevation above sea level of the mountain's peak is 29,957 feet.
To find the elevation above sea level of the mountain's peak, we need to add the base's depth below sea level to the height the mountain rises.
The base of the mountain is 11,554 feet below sea level, and the mountain rises 18,403 feet.
To find the elevation above sea level of the peak, we add the two values:
11,554 feet (base) + 18,403 feet (mountain rise) = 29,957 feet
Therefore, the elevation above sea level of the mountain's peak is 29,957 feet.
To find the elevation of the mountain's peak, we subtract the base's depth below sea level from the height of the mountain:
18,403 feet (mountain rise) - 11,554 feet (base) = 6,849 feet
Therefore, the elevation of the mountain's peak is 6,849 feet.
